Empire of the Sun’s Luke Steele Says AI Can “Empower Artists That Know How to Use It”

In a recent interview with iHeartRadio Canada, Empire of the Sun singer Luke Steele admitted that “of course” he uses AI, calling it “just another tool” for musicians. “It’s quite exciting, the humans versus AI,” Steele said, comparing AI-assisted studio tools to using “a really smart guitar pedal.” Find Empire of the Sun TicketsWhen pressed on his response to artists who are against using AI, Steele said it was “so powerful” and will “empower artists that know how to use it, and they’re going to become unstoppable.” Overall, Steele’s approach to AI is more measured than, say, Boy George, who has wholly embraced using ChatGPT to write multiple albums. Last week, the British artist released a controversial pro-Israel “reggae” song, which he admitted to making with AI.
